Richardson’s chief executive Greg Munford said: “Even in the face of recent adverse weather conditions we are still on target to complete this phase of the development of our park in time for our first guests to arrive on Good Friday.”

Mr Munford said Hemsby had a lot to offer. “Firstly there’s all the family fun of a traditional seaside holiday in the UK, which Hemsby provides in Buckets - and spades - with a golden sandy beach, plus numerous attractions, cafes and family entertainment centres.

“However it’s also where the Broads National Park meet the sea, so Hemsby is also a perfect location to explore the wonderful county of Norfolk.”

He said: We have a lot of attractions for people of all ages, which is one of the reasons we’re so popular. Hemsby has great beaches, it’s easy to get to Great Yarmouth if needed and we have a lot of seals in the area during breeding time.”
